Easter Basket of Flowers S-Fold Card

Created this Easter Card using an S-Fold style and pastel colors.

Used Cricut cartridge Create a Critter w/ Design Space & my new Cricut Explore Air. I like the way Design Space shows all the images on the cartridge. I had not noticed the Basket or Tulips on this cartridge before.

Used brown Kraft cardstock for basket. Embossed the basket with an embossing folder that has a basket weave look. Added the Tulips & Easter grass to the basket. Used Glossy accents on Tulip for dew look. Can you see the Easter grass?

Used Spellbinder die for the mat to hold Basket & for sentiment tag.

Stamped Impression Obsession sentiment. Sprinkled clear embossing powder for sparkle.

Added gems & ribbon.

#4 Alcohol Ink Easter Egg & Egg Holder

Created this Easter Egg inspired by Tim Holtz. You can click here to see how a white plastic Easter egg can be transformed by watching TH blog video.

You can see first egg I made by clicking here. You can see 2nd egg by clicking here. You can see 3rd egg by clicking here. I changed to silver mixative & this one has a pink look.

I looked all over for egg holders. I have some but they all have eggs displayed on them. Since I did not find I thought why not make my own. Recycled toilet paper rolls for my Easter egg holder. First I cut the toilet paper roll to be able to flatten it somewhat. Then I used red adhesive tape which is better than other adhesive for holding together. Measured some scrapbook paper & attached to the toilet paper roll. 

Made sentiment tag by using Spellbinder dies and Cardz TV stamp.
